I'm basically trying to rid myself of using two monitors.  I have to keep my 
Windows box around for games so my Windows monitor is pretty good.  My linux 
monitor stinks so I'm trying to get rid of that.  I usually only need a 
commandline interface, but there is an occasional need for X applications.  
I'm also too cheap to buy a KVM switch.  I suppose I shouldn't have stated, 
"opensource", but should have rather said, "free".  :)
